I get the attraction on Thybulle, at least a little bit. Maybe he's improving, maybe, and his defense is a plus. But he will be RFA next summer, and likely want a big raise before there's time to bring him up to average offensively, so a good chance he's only a rental. Or, if you get a jump in his offense, then does he become ridiculously priced, based on one good offensive year that may or may not happen again.
But Korkmaz, man, I just don't see value there. Looks more like a bad contract to be stuck with, to me.
The last season for Korkmaz -- it shows 7p, 2r, 2a, 38% FG, 28% 3s, TS 50.2 (which is really bad), PER 10.2. That's who he is most recently.
I also see that his trend line is that he's getting worse year over year, each of the last 2 seasons. And he's been in the NBA 5 years already. B-ball ref shows he's not good as a defender, close to the worst on the team. In playoffs, he was apparently unplayable almost.
Contract is not cheap for what he's producing -- 2yrs 10.4M.
I will add that "Powell sucks" and "I'm tired of him on the Mavs" isn't a reason to do this deal, if you are just getting even more suckitude in return. He's gone in May no matter what. No need to take on bad multi-year contracts just to see him gone.
